US appeals court upholds law forcing sale or ban of TikTok

[Sigmundd]

TikTok's bid to overturn a law which would see it banned or sold in the US from early 2025 has been rejected.

The social media company had hoped a federal appeals court would uphold its argument that the law was unconstitutional.

TikTok's lawyers told the court in September that a ban would have a "staggering" impact on the free speech of its 170 million US users.

But the court ruled the law "was the culmination of extensive, bipartisan action by the Congress and by successive presidents."

The law was "carefully crafted to deal only with control by a foreign adversary, and it was part of a broader effort to counter a well-substantiated national security threat posed by the PRC (People's Republic of China)," the ruling continues.

The US wants TikTok sold or banned because of what it says are its owners links to the Chinese state - links TikTok and parent company Bytedance have always denied.

I do hope it gets banned by next year permanently and all other countries follows aswell. And i do hope nothing similair or worse comes by. I also hope youtube shorts and instagram reels gets shutdown.

Tiktok is cancer not because it's Chinese but what it does to the developing brain of children.

Short term memory, get easily irritated when there's a video that goes on for more than 10 minutes, impatient, the spread of misinformation, racism. Is a horrible app that radicalises young peope to become racist. It needs to go along with shorts and reels.

Tiktok is being banned to benefit Israel, other social media apps will still contain the same brainrot but with a pro-western twist

X is more racist than anything and it’s here to stay unfortunately. And TikTok is probably the least racist out of all of them, you jus get people vibin on there. Real hope core + brainrot. Only recently it’s been weaponised against Somalis but the ones being racist are the west Africans.

X just needs to revert back to the blue bird app. Before covid Somalis were doing well on twitter in terms of our PR as a whole. Its a shame Elon musk bought it smh. Tiktok is the most xenophobic app ever known to mankind. Have you seen the mega viral videos of Somalis and how normalised racism against us is???? is high time it gets permanently shutdown globally. Shorts and reels also needs to lock it off since it's similair to tiktok and all the weirdos trying ruin our rep will just go on reels and shorts.

I would have agreed with you before the US election since there was so much pro-Palestinian stuff on there but it didn’t seem to make any difference. That stuff is not real life. TikTok is primarily about selling shit to a more and more materialistic consumer culture. It’s like Amazon now.

What’s your opinion on this ? On the brighter side Somalis will be less known

No more Somalian Indian baby jokes
